Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years to 70 Years (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Are at least 18 years and ≤60 years for males (≤70 years of age for females) at the time of informed consent.
- Must self-identify as either Black or African American in race in the open label addenda.
-
Have severe or very severe AA, as determined by all of the following:
- Current AA episode of more than 6 months' duration and hair loss encompassing ≥50% of the scalp, as measured by SALT Alopecia Areata Investigator Global Assessment (AA-IGA) of 3 or 4) at screening and baseline.
- No spontaneous improvement over the past 6 months.
- Current episode of severe or very severe AA of less than 8 years.

Exclusion Criteria:
- Primarily "diffuse" type of AA.
- Are currently experiencing other forms of alopecia or any other concomitant conditions that would interfere with evaluations of the effect of study medication on AA.
- Previously treated with an oral Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor and had an inadequate response (for example, absence of significant terminal hair growth after at least 12 weeks of treatment).
